Have you missed VMFA’s Fabergé and Russian Decorative Arts gallery? After returning from their world tour, the objects in this collection will be back on view beginning in October 2016. The new, expanded installation features a number of objects that have rarely been on view, as well as a significant new acquisition. Resources for teaching history, economics, and humanities using VMFA’s collection, as well as newly digitized archives, are provided in this workshop. Discussions and activities address the great changes afoot in the world from the days of Russia’s last tsars through the Great Depression and World War II, when VMFA’s imperial eggs were collected by Lillian Thomas Pratt.
